Posted by On October 06, 2015 0 Comment

One of the most repeated situations among buyers of an iOS device with capacities between 16GB and 32GB is the lack of disk for later store lots of photos, videos and applications that we all have today. Here we can not extend memory card, even with external USB drives, because the operating system does not have a file system that the user can access.
The solution for Apple products is to have a hardware device that is used as storage, and an application that acts as file manager can be used. SanDisk has thought about it and offers us the SanDisk iXpand, external drive based on flash memory has two different connectors: Lightning, for use on an iPhone or iPad, and USB 2.0.
In it, we can save videos, music and other documents from your computer or from your iOS device, and also to access them from any of the fields, simply using the iXpand with corresponding plug. It also brings us, by the way, some useful advantages which we shall see below.

The setting could not be more simple: as indicated in the instructions that we find just open the box, we just have to connect the unit to our iOS device via Lightning. The operating system will notify us that requires an application is not installed on the system, and we take it if we want to.
After installing the application, you will find a file manager to use with a clear and simple interface: three folders for music, photos and videos to store our content and retrieve later. If we connect the unit to a computer, save files in the corresponding folder we can later play them from iOS smoothly. It is also possible to back up photos and videos, even the contacts we have in our iPhone or iPad to the unit, something really useful if you count only 16GB in the device and you are not at home. This download memory to free up space on the phone itself or tablet, and the contents will remain accessible from the iXpand.

I was pleasantly surprised especially the operation of player built into the application, which has been reproduced without problems MKV videos of several GB, without slow and perfectly synchronized audio with video. Supported formats are WMV, AVI, MKV, MP4 and MOV, more than enough to take any video you want.
The document viewer and music player work as expected for an application of this style, no problem. There is a very useful option in the files we have in the iXpand unit, “Save to iPhone”, which will make the download to the phone (or tablet) when we want.
